Functions

nonblock_read(stream, limit=None, forceMode=None)
nonblock_read - Read any data available on the given stream (file, socket, etc) without blocking and regardless of newlines. @param stream <object> - A stream (like a file object or a socket) @param limit <None/int> - Max number of bytes to read. If None or 0, will read as much data is available. @param forceMode <None/mode string> - Default None. Will be autodetected if None. If you want to explicitly force a mode, provide 'b' for binary (bytes) or 't' for text (Str). This determines the return type. @return <str or bytes depending on stream's mode> - Any data available on the stream, or "None" if the stream was closed on the other side and all data has already been read.
